617.20 Appendix A State Environmental Quality Review

Full Environmental Assessment Form Introduction: The Full Environmental Assessment Form (EAF) provides an orderly and documented framework to assist the lead agency in identifying potential environmental impacts of a proposed action and evaluating those potential impacts to determine the environmental significance of the proposed action. The determination of significance is the lead agency’s conclusion either that a project may have significant adverse environmental impacts so environmental review must continue with an environmental impact statement, or that an action will have no significant adverse environmental impacts and the environmental review will conclude. The formal statement that potentially significant adverse environmental impacts have been identified, and which leads to the more in-depth environmental review of an environmental impact statement ie called a positive declaration; a negative declaration, in contrast, is an affirmation that the action will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment and so will require no further environmental review. The Full EAF is structured in three parts, which when completed will support the determination of significance by the lead agency. Part 1 of the Full EAF must be completed by the sponsor of, or applicant for, the project or action. Part 1 is a series of questions that asks the sponsor to describe the proposed project plus its specific setting, broader surroundings, and regulatory context. Questions in the first section ask about operational needs and characteristics as well as physical specifications. The information provided in Part 1 will be used by reviewing agencies to help identify potential impacts of the proposed action and, together with any available application materials or plans, will be the primary basis for the lead agency’s determination of significance. Part 2 of the Full EAF must be completed by the lead agency. In Part 2, the lead agency should compare information provided by the sponsor in Part 1 to a standardized set of indicators that will help the lead agency identify potential environmental impacts. Part 2 is intended to help the lead agency systematically discern the full range of possible impacts that may occur from a project or action. The questions are designed to help a reviewer determine whether any element of a proposed project may impact one or more factors of the environment. Part 3 of the Full EAF must also be completed by the lead agency. For each potential impact identified in Part 2 by a “yes” response to a screening question, the lead agency should narratively explain the potential impact, and then evaluate that impact’s significance, including consideration of magnitude, importance, and inclusion of or potential for mitigation. Each impact discussion should contain a brief, well-reasoned elaboration supporting the lead agency’s decision as to whether that impact is potentially significant, or non-significant. The combined discussion of all potential impacts in Part 3 is intended to provide the supporting documentation for the lead agency’s determination of significance. Based on the descriptions, discussions and conclusions articulated in Part 3, the lead agency may then complete the certification at the end of Part 3 to finalize its negative or positive declaration, without needing to prepare a separate negative or positive declaration.

Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 1 - - Project and Setting Instructions for Completing Part 1:

Part 1 is to be completed by the project sponsor or applicant. Complete the entire form, Parts A through K. Responses to these questions will be considered as part of the application for approval or funding, or of an agency’s proposed direct action, and may be subject to further verification and public review. Note that after Question A, the basic identification of the project and sponsor, Part 1 is structured so that you may skip questions when sections are not relevant to the specific proposal. Before skipping any section, however, please be certain that no elements of the topic pertain to your project or action. The lead agency may request that you supplement or complete omitted sections before proceeding with its analysis and determination of significance, if it believes that you have omitted relevant sections. You may also provide any additional information which you believe will be needed by the lead agency to complete Parts 2 and 3; attach additional pages as necessary. Completion of the Full EAF is expected to be based on information currently available and should not require new studies, research or investigation. For any question where information is not currently available, please specifically indicate that the information does not exist or is not available to the sponsor. Where additional research or investigation would be needed to respond, please answer as well as possible based on information that is available.

Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 2- Identification of Potential Project Impacts Instructions for Part 2: Part 2 is to be completed by the lead agency. Part 2 is designed to help the lead agency inventory all potential resources which could be affected by a proposed project or action. Therefore, answer every one of the 21 questions in Part 2. Answer Yes if there may be any impact. Maybe answers should be considered as Yes answers. In identifying impacts, consider the possibility for long term and cumulative effects as well as direct impacts. If the lead agency is a state agency AND the action is in any Coastal Area, complete the Coastal Assessment Form before proceeding with this assessment. Before beginning Part 2, review all of the information provided in Part 1 as well as any underlying application and supporting materials to ensure that Part 1 accurately describes all components of the proposed activity, that is, the “whole action”, because SEQR requires that all component activities or stages of a proposal should be reviewed simultaneously, except in rare cases which must be explicitly justified (see 6 NYCRR Part 617.2(ag). The lead agency’s reviewer(s) will not necessarily be environmental professionals. In completing Part 2, reviewers should be guided by the question: Have my responses and determinations been reasonable for the scale and context of this project? The impacts of each project, on each site, in each locality, will vary. Therefore, examples used in Part 2 are illustrative and are offered as guidance. They do not constituted an exhaustive list of impacts and thresholds to answer each question, and each lead agency’s reviewers are expected to consider potential impacts in the specific context of each project. When an “Other Impacts” element is checked, please provide notes briefly identifying those impact(s).

Part 3- Evaluation of Importance of Potential Impacts Instructions Part 3 must be completed by the Lead Agency. For each potential impact identified in Part by a “yes” response, provide a brief narrative which discusses each of the following questions. Attach as many sheets as needed to address all potential impacts. 1. Briefly describe the impact and its general magnitude, including at least the likely extent, resource(s) or population(s) affected, and project elements expected to cause the impact. 2. If the impact is avoided or substantially reduced by design measures included in project designs, describe those measures. 3. If the impact could be mitigated or reduced to an inconsequential impact by project change(s), describe those measures. 4. Based on the information available, decide if the impact is also important. To assess impact importance, the lead agency must consider: •

The probability that the impact would actually occur



The duration of the impact



Whether the impact is, or is not, reversible, including identification and values of any resources which could be permanently lost



Whether the impact will be controlled by design measures included in the project, or could be avoided, limited or controlled by other measures



Any regional or broader consequences of the impact



Any potential divergence of the project from local needs and goals



Whether known objections to the project relate to this impact.

After these analyses are created for each identified potential impact, the lead agency must determine if there are any significant adverse environmental impacts from the project which are not substantially avoided or mitigated by project design. Based on that analysis, the lead agency must reach its determination of significance, that is, whether to require an environmental impact statement to explore alternatives to avoid or mitigate significant adverse environmental impacts, or whether available information is sufficient for the lead agency to conclude that the project will have no unmitigated significant adverse environmental impacts. By completing the certification on the next page, the lead agency can complete its determination of significance.

Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF, as noted, plus this additional supporting information _____________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ , and considering both the magnitude and importance of each identified potential impact, it is the conclusion of this lead agency that:

9 A.

This project will result in no significant adverse impacts on the environment, and therefore an environmental impact statement need not be prepared. Accordingly, this negative declaration is issued.

9 B.

Although this project could have a significant adverse impact on the environment, that impact will be avoided or substantially mitigated because of the following conditions which will be required by the lead agency _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ . There will therefore be no significant adverse impacts from the project as conditioned, and therefore this conditioned negative declaration is issued. * (* A conditioned negative declaration may ONLY be used with UNLISTED actions.)

9 C.

This project may result in one or more significant adverse impacts on the environment, and an environmental impact statement must therefore be prepared to explore alternatives to avoid or measures to mitigate those impacts. Accordingly, this positive declaration is issued.
